Negatively objective maybe???

@CoachX

That's funny. I got reprimanded about pissburgh fans too. Lol. They try so hard to keep those 3 posters happy...

@flyers canuck

Also, if they happen to win the cup this year will you bitch about the signings? I doubt it...

When Vinny & Streit score on the pp this year you are to remain seated and not happy...

@flyercanuck

So now you care what the "NHL fan base" thinks of our f/a signings? Who cares what they think. What do they think of the contract and years Clarkson/Close and Horton just received? I really don't care.

Go Flyers!!!

@CoachX

You had to bring up the birds. I've got season Tix and feel your pain there... Someday I hope.

@ jammer

You're right. You're a negative realist. Nice.

@ polaris

Remember after talking up the isles vs the flyers? Now that you're talking bets on here remember mine to you that you pussed out on? Haha, classic. I'll still take the flyers over the isles in points next year. You???????

@ jammer

Yes we all want a cup. That's obvious. It's not like they don't try.I don't really remember them winning one . Too young. I became a fan in the 80's and I'm still a huge fan. Do they make mistakes? Obviously, but they try their best every year. Successful or not I'm here rooting for them.

@ jammer

Maybe you should find a new team to hate I mean root for. There's a difference of being an objective fanand just plain negative.

OK then. what should have been done different after last years huge disappointment? They've realized there mistakes and Are trying to move forward...I'm tired of hearing about the length and nmc of contracts. If that what it takes to get a player than so be it. We're better off today than we were last year And I can't wait for the new season to start.

I agree to a certain point. The negativity on here about a team that sucked last year and trying to improve via free agency can be a bit brutal.

I like the streit signing, the Vinny signing, the Emery signing and the locking up of G. I'm not a homer but how can any of those signings make us worse than last year. Who cares about the money? Its not ours. The years you have to give or you won't get or keep them.

How can anyone complain about this? He's one of the best players in the NHL. He's only 25 and he's ours. Lock him up and show him the respect he deserves.

G!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good signing. I can't wait to see him in o/b.

I'm not sure how this kid will turn out but there's two things that I do know. 1: Those meaningless games that we won last year were a joke. 2: The Eagles (Reid) also drafted players in the 1st Rd that were projected to go much later. All of us Philly fans know how that turned out...

NBC sports

@ jammer

Exactly.

How about Hartnell

I'll give Hartnell a pass this past season due to injuries. But if looks terrible things coming season we have a boat anchor to get rid of. We already have Scenn, Simmonds and maybe McGyn to play the same way. For the $ Hartnell makes I would rather have Horton. That's a discussion for another day...

Exactly doom

He can make 1.6 mil for 12 years and not work? Good deal IMO. I'm sure Comcast isn't worried

@ polaris

You mean being the favorite to win the cup and choking again? To a team that got beat by Chicago in 6. Hahaha now you've got me laughing. Luckily the mods on here have your back.

How about that great discussion you had about how good the isles were compared to us... You were so convinced that you took my bet that the Flyers would have more points next year. Oh wait, you Pitted out of that. Hahaha classic, bro.

BTW Aziz

I really do appreciate your attention to detail. Much better than my a.d.d. allows me...

I was just looking at the dmen numbers this year. After kimmo streit was # 12 in the league in dmen scoring. The next flyer was Luke at like 70th. I know he's a little old but kimmo looked pretty good the last few years and I'm still waiting to hear a better option without getting rid of our young nucleus.

Looking at our overpriced defense. How is he so bad? You guys should be complaining of how much we pay our own overrated dmen. This guy will instantly be one of our best dmen with a limited nmc that they can trade after 2 years. Also, don't forget that we gave up pretty much nothing (including our young core) to get him. Let me know what our options are in the free agent market cause I see nobody out there worth anything.
